Stay Out of the Fray

I found it so interesting that when John McCain used this quotation last week — one I've known for at least a decade — he got blasted so badly by the media!

To me, these are very wise words. Why join in a fight that someone is trying to pick with you? Why not have the dignity to let the "pigs" sling mud, but stay out of the sty?

Isn't that what most parents teach their children? Sticks and Stones, buddy! There is absolutely a whole lot more honor and self-respect if you stay out of the fray and stay away from the verbal bullies than to jump in, throw stones, and make matters worse.
